It has been established that the low 700s, 706 and lower, were basically 
assigned to Fairchance.
Does a roster assignment for Car Houses for WP exist?       Are there 
other routes where certain blocks of cars were assigned?
I've tried to research this somewhat using photos mostly and it seems there 
is "some" barn assignment, but I don't think it is cut in stone.

I think the 700's without lavatories were assigned  to the Fairchance line.  
I don't have my material in front of me, but 706 seems to be the usual car.  
The last day service, or at least the last scheduled car was 732 or 736 
(without looking to check) which was pictured in the first PERC West Penn booklet.

709 was used on Brownsville a lot, and 712 on Latrobe, but others obviously 
joined them on the daily schedules.
